AS General Assembly

Dear Members,

The Annual General Meeting of the Association Sportive is scheduled to take place on Friday 3 April 2015 at 16.00 in the Clubhouse.

The notice for this meeting was published and sent to members recently.  Due to an administrative problem this notice was sent less than one month before the date of the meeting.  We apologise for this.  If any members feel that the AGM should not be held on 3 April 2015 because of the late notice then please can they let the AS know as soon as possible.  Traditionally the AGM is held on the Friday before the Rattan Chadha Cup, and as all the arrangements have been made to hold the meeting on 3 April it would obviously be preferable not to postpone the AGM.

The notice of the AGM requires that any Members’ questions should be submitted to the Board of the AS by 20 March.  This is obviously no longer possible.  Please can you submit any questions you may have to the Board by no later than Wednesday 1 April.

The AS financial statements for 2014 and the AS budgets for 2015 and 2016 can be doiwloaded by clicking here.

We look forward to seeing you at the AGM.

2015 Survey


Mougins, March 2015

Dear Members,

Recently you received a link to a questionnaire. Already 200 members have taken the time to answer these questions. We thank you very much for this since your responses, remarks and ideas give us the necessary knowledge on how you review your membership of RMGC and the Club’s services.

If you have not yet looked at the questionnaire we invite you again to do so. Please click on this link to continue:


This questionnaire is part of the efforts of the committee working on a strategic plan 2015 – 2020. On the request of Rattan Chadha, management and several members Pieter Schoen (Chairman) put together a committee with the sole purpose to produce a Plan securing RMGC’s futureThe committee consist of several members, former and current management. 

A strategic plan is the document that results from a strategic planning process and defines the following:
• The club’s vision or purpose for being in existence.
• Where the club wants to be in five years in terms of its
membership and financial position.
• How it intends to get there through a set of prioritized actions.

For Royal Mougins Golf Club& Resort the committee has outlined the following steps to be followed.

Resort Performance Audit & Market Study 
The first phase is to understand the business’ performance in key areas such as Golf Sales & Marketing, Hotel Sales & Marketing, Membership Sales & Management, Customer Service and Operations. 

Phase 2 ‐ Development of a Long‐Term Strategic Plan 
Using the information gathered and analysed from Phase 1, this phase will build a long‐term strategic plan for RMGC and in so doing also create a business plan and a membership plan for the future growth and management of the resort. 
Phase 3 ‐ Implementation
Planning is vital for a business to develop and to achieve its potential but it relies on effective implementation if the results are to be accomplished. 

It is obvious that a thorough strategic plan helps a club understand its competitive position, members’ priorities and financial position. It defines vision, aspirations and the steps the club needs to take to reach its goals. The plan is the result of a disciplined process that carefully considers market and financial conditions and members’ expectations. In a fragile economy and club environment, a strategic plan gives a club its best chance to grow and achieve best‐in‐class status.

Please fill out the questionnaire if you have not yet done so. We NEED your input and thoughts to advance!

Thanking you in advance I remain on behalf of the entire committee;

Sincerely,


Jurgen Wondergem

The Royal Mougins Director's Word - March 2015





Dear members,

"Spring is nature's way of saying, 'Let's party!”

Temperatures are rising, the sun is out and people are smiling. We can’t wait for a great and fun golfing season to start at Royal Mougins. Soon we will welcome back those that spend theirs winter elsewhere and we’ll kick off together during the Easter weekend (Rattan Chadha Cup).

But before we start looking for the Easter eggs all over the golf course I would like to inform you shortly about some of the changes you will find in 2015 at your Royal Mougins.

Obviously RMGC is all about golf and you will be happy to see improvements on holes 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 while holes 7, 8, 13, 14 and 17 will follow shortly. On all holes we have been experiencing irrigation problems for a long time now. Currently the team is working hard to get your golf course in shape for the Easter tournament. For that same reason the greens were hollow tined and major parts of the course was top-dressed on March 12 and 13.

Golf! You hit down to make the ball go up. You swing left and the ball goes right.
The lowest score wins. And on top of that, the winner buys the drinks

A committee under guidance of Mr. Pieter Schoen, several members, former and current management has been formed some months ago to analyse data, create a strategic plan 2015 - 2020 and brain storm about solutions for many questions and threats we are currently facing.

I am happy to see that already so many of you have returned the questionnaires which were send out by the committee. We greatly appreciate your commitment and help. Let’s work hand in hand to improve RMGC where we can and come up with ideas for our Club in order to ensure a great golfing future!

Obviously my team and I are open to any comment, remarks and/or criticism. Don’t forget that we are here for you and that you can count on our commitment!

One of the biggest and most important challenges we face today is to attract and recruit new members. For all the obvious reasons!
I am happy to inform you that I have recruited a more than capable Membership Sales Director whose main responsibility is draw in new members as well as add value where possible for the existing members. Presentation of this new team member will follow soon.

We look to the future
because that's where we will be going to spend the rest of our lives.

A new restaurant director, Sébastien Palet (former Chateau de la Chèvre d’Or, Hotel de Mougins, le Martinez) has been appointed and we hope to offer you some minor but never-the-less exciting changes on and off the terrace. The same goes for the Mi-House where Ilona will offer some new and interesting food and beverage items.

"There is no sincerer love than the love of food & wine."

Unfortunately we have had some problems with security on the course. An experienced security guard is now making non-stop rounds on the course and I am happy to report that we have had no new incidents. Security will remain a point of attention all season. Never-the-less do not bring valuables while playing golf.

Changes to the décor of the Clubhouse are on our wish list as well. We are working on several plans and once approved will present them in due time. However this will not be before the end of this season.

Some of the other new features to look forward to are: a new website for RMGC, buggies with GPS, year round marshalling, a new housekeeping team and a new magazine.

To golf or not to golf?? What a stupid question! J

More than ever RMGC is involved with social issues and we will organise and/or host quit a number of charities this season. Obviously we will inform you in detail about these events at a later date.

The team is looking forward to spring, summer and fall together with you. Farah and her team of the RM Spa are there to pamper you and help you to keep that shape so that nothing stands in your way to hit the course and soon the beach (Plage Royale, Cannes!).

A successful team beats with one heart.

Sunny regards,



Jurgen Wondergem
General Manager

Satisfaction Survey 2015





Mougins, February 23rd 2015

Dear Royal Mougins Member,

As already outlined very briefly in a prior email to you we are currently very busy working on a Strategic Plan 2015 – 2020. Pieter Schoen (Chairman), after consulting Rattan Chadha, put together a committee with the sole purpose to produce a Plan securing RMGC’s future. The committee consists of several members, former and current management.

A strategic plan helps a club understand its competitive position, members’ priorities and financial position. It defines vision, aspirations and the steps the club needs to take to reach its goals. The plan is the result of a disciplined process that carefully considers market and financial conditions and members’ expectations. In a fragile economy and club environment, a strategic plan gives a club its best chance to grow and achieve bestinclass status.

Obviously the committee seeks a good understanding of your experiences and opinions on key aspects of club activities. We would greatly appreciate about 20 minutes of your time to complete the enclosed survey. Your evaluation of the Club is important to identify opportunities for us to improve the course, its other services and even more importantly ideas to strengthen the Club. We will use the results in our decision-making on how to improve what RMGC offers to its current and future members. The results will be made available to all correspondents while individual surveys will be treated with complete confidentiality.

To answer the survey, please click HERE

Your participation is much appreciated and will help us to better shape the future of RMGC. As a token of appreciation we will raffle 4 dinners and 4 Spa treatments.

Let’s work hand in hand to keep RMGC and come with ideas for our Club in order to ensure a great golfing future! Do not hesitate to use the extra space wherever provided in the survey to give suggestions, ideas, remarks, etc. All comments are more than welcome.

Thanking you in advance we remain on behalf of the entire committee;

With kind regards,


Pieter Schoen                                                            Jurgen Wondergem
